But then what? put it in a cage? let it go only to return to your house or the neighbors? move it out to the happy woods where EVERYTHING eats mice murderer :)? I joke cause I have been thru it all. I live out in the country and every year, actually twice a year we get the field mice making their way into the house to nest. When it gets cold, and again when they mate. Sorry, but I need to "snap" about 2 dozen of the little dudes every season, or my walls become mouse porn central. Just part of the country circle of life I guess...... G.
